I'll generally try to keep the Presidential politics discussion to a minimum here, but this is too baffling to not note. Mark Schmitt, whose regular columns for The American Prospect are a noteworthy highlight of a broadly impressive rag, looks at Mark Penn, Hillary Clinton's pollster and one of her top advisors. What he finds is a bit unnerving for anyone who supports American workers:And, finally, he is the "Worldwide President and CEO" of Burson-Marsteller, the fifth largest public relations firm in the world. That's a big title, and it seems like it would be a big job. Prowl around the Burson-Marsteller web site, and you'll see that it's a company that does lots of things.
One that might be of interest to liberals thinking about whether to support Clinton is "Labor Relations." In this section, Senator Clinton's top advisor's company says, "Companies cannot be caught unprepared by Organized Labor's coordinated campaigns whether they are in conjunction with organizing or contract negotiating ... That is why we have developed a comprehensive communications approach for clients when they face any type of labor situation." If you follow the links provided in Schmitt's piece, it actually is as bad as it looks. Penn's firm runs union busting operations.
Look, there's a place in American politics for union-busting, toe-the-corporate-line types. Historically, it's been called the Republican Party. |
